Spanish midfielder agrees new contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until at least 2021

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said Juan Mata can help develop the next generation of stars at Old Trafford after the Spaniard signed a new contract with the club.

The 31-year-old midfielder has agreed a deal that will keep him at Man Utd until 2021, with the option for a further year.

Since joining the Red Devils from Chelsea in 2014, Mata has been involved in more Premier League goals, scoring 33 and providing 23 assists, than any other player for the club.

And with Mata also winning the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Europa League while at the club, Solskjaer is keen to use his experience for the younger players at Old Trafford, such as new signing Daniel James.
